A great chance to rub elbows with noted Thoroughbred horse trainers and other racing industry insiders is the Derby Festival KTOB Derby Trainers Dinner. The event will be held on Tuesday, April 29th, at the Hyatt Regency.
The Derby Trainers Dinner is held each year on the Tuesday before the Kentucky Derby and is coordinated by the Lexington-based Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners & Breeders Inc. The dinner was once primarily a “roast” for equine industry insiders, but is now open to the general public and media and serves as a salute to those who have dedicated significant time and effort to the Thoroughbred industry.
During the evening, video clips are shown as each Derby Trainer approaches the stage for their interview. An award is presented to the honored guest - the trainer of the previous year's Kentucky Derby winner
